Both end up in similar size ranges. The Barnecks aren't as heavy bodied as an adult, and probably reach adult size sooner. An old, large papuan python would have a similar mass to a Barneck a little longer in length. I'm not as sure on the scrub info, but 10-15 ft. is what I have often heard (though it depends on locality, obviously.) A really huge Papuan is, however, really huge. (ie the one you often hear of that consumed a 22kg Wallaby.)
